A column about the
Tyrone-Snyder Public Library
Check for updated information
about the library, its books, programs, and special events in this column
appearing bi-weekly on Thursdays in The Daily Herald.
This March the library will start celebrating Saint
Patrick’s Day early with our “Luck for a Buck” fundraiser. Make a donation
to the library and help us decorate the library with lucky shamrocks.
On March 20th the library will be celebrating the Irish Heritage
Festival with its annual Trash to Treasure sale in the community room from 9
AM-2 PM. We are currently accepting items for the sale. Clean out your closets
and help the library at the same time. Donations may be dropped off at the
library during our regular operating hours. There will also be children’s
entertainment in the library (times to be announced) and free face painting.
In other library news, our spring session of the Family Place program is
scheduled for April 1st (and that’s no joke!) and will continue
every Thursday in the library from 9:00-10:30 AM through April 29th.
Family Place is both a playgroup for children ages birth through 3 years and a
way for caregivers of young children to connect with each other and local
professionals with expert advice on early childhood. Call the library at
684-1133 to register your child or grandchild today.
Starting on April 3rd and running every Saturday from 10-noon until
May 8th, the library will be hosting the Mighty Pen, a creative
writing course presented by multi-award winning local author Daniel Diehl. This
6-week workshop will help you improve your writing skills, whether you want to
write the great American novel or simply wish to write better letters. Call the
library at 684-1133 for more information or to register for the class.
Free GED classes are now available twice a week: on Tuesdays GED classes are
held in the library from 3:30-5:30 PM and on Fridays they are held from 10
AM-noon. These classes are free and walk-ins are welcome. Free Careerlink
services are also available in the library every Wednesday from noon-4 PM.
The “Beat the Winter Blues” raffle basket exclusive to members of our
Friends of the Library group was won by Cindy Harper. This raffle is just one of
many fringe benefits for Friends of the Library members. Want to know more? Then
consider attending our next meeting on March 2nd at 6 PM.
Breaking news: state tax forms are now available in the library.
